Yosemite National Park: The Great Gray Owl

This is part 4 of our Yosemite National Park podcast series. Check out our other episodes on Yosemite National Park for kids: Part 1: The Waterfall That Turns to Fire Part 2: El Capitan's Impossible Climb Part 3: Half Dome's Crazy Crack Part 4: The Great Gray Owl -- What wears a giant winter coat, has lopsided ears, and dives headfirst into two feet of snow? Meet the Great Gray Owl, Yosemite’s quietest and rarest resident.🦉 While the landscape gets a lot of the attention in Yosemite, an incredible owl that lives no where else on Earth hides in the shadows. The Great Gray Owl is the tallest owl in North America AND one of the rarest.  Discover how lopsided ears turn this featherweight bird into a snow-diving super-hunter, test your ears with a game of *Guess Who's Hunting*, and think about what it would be like to see this elusive bird swoop silently by.
